Post Christmas Fritters

Every year we have leftovers to use up after Christmas. I love leftovers. All those treats and easy meals in the fridge just waiting to be eaten. It makes Christmas last even longer. Eventually though there are all those bits and pieces that are left after all the “good” stuff has gone. You know, the end of the cheese platter, the bits of roast vegetables, and the end of the ham. Of course, by this time the thought of another ham and salad meal makes you shudder. So what to do?

Make some fritters of course.

Pull all those bits an pieces out of the fridge. Dice or grate them up. Whack them in a batter and cook them up. Then stand back as the whole family hoovers them up.

Post Christmas Fritters

Ingredients
3 cups of diced left overs – think roast meat, chicken, ham, seafood, roasted vegetables (pumpkin would be delicious), bits that didn’t get used in salads, the ends of cheese from the platter. I used carrots and capsicum, ham, cheese, and a handful of chives from the garden.

1 1/2 c SR flour
2 eggs
1 3/4c milk
salt and pepper
oil for frying

Method

1. Dice or shred all your leftover ingredients.

2. In a large bowl, beat the flour, eggs, milk, salt and pepper.

3. Add in your diced fillings and stir through the batter.

4. Heat a little oil on a medium heat in a fry pan.

5. Drop spoonfuls of mixture into the fry pan and cook for several minutes.

6. When bubbles rise to the surface of the mixture, flip and cook on the second side.
